The death of a sibling can have a huge impact on a child. Acknowledging their grief and giving your child the opportunity to express their feelings will help them manage their grief and feel connected to their brother or sister who has died. For guidance:

Helping Early Career Teachers Thrive: The Late Show with Ben White | Teachers Talk Radio
Robbie Coleman has an unusually clear window into the minds of early career teachers — not by guessing, but by analysing how thousands of them respond to real-world school scenarios.In this month’s show, we dive into what those responses reveal: what schools can do to help early career teachers flourish, and what early career teachers themselves can focus on to grow with confidence.The show is packed with useful insights on managing behaviour, navigating safeguarding, and why obsessing over “open vs closed questions” isn’t the key to improving questioning after all. A thoughtful, practical show packed with takeaways for anyone in or supporting the early years of teaching.

Question design & delivery is so important to get right in the classroom! Are all students thinking? Are all students involved & responding? Do all students understand the question? I had these points in mind ( and more!) when writing my latest book Questioning for Teaching & Learning. Out now!
